It's generally preceded by the adjective "dreaded" I'm struggling to remember any prominent manager changes where a vote of confidence from the board meant anything other than "you're circling the drain improve and quickly or you're gone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie1999 Posted 7 February 2017 Share Posted 7 February 2017 32 minutes ago, STUHILL said: I'm talking about this season. Of course no manager would have been sacked for keeping us up last season. The fact he won the league, means that the owners are now much more leniant than other relegation threatened clubs, and a reason why they have sacked their underperforming managers but why we have kept ours. If we had finished 10th last season, then Claudio would have been sacked by now on his current form. If Palace had won the league last season with Pardew, then he would still be in his job. They asked him if he would stay as manager if we went down when he took the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously prone to changing their minds now and again. completely different, that was a decision taken by one person without the agreement of the other.

Bob Hazels shorts Posted 7 February 2017 Share Posted 7 February 2017 Don't want the guy gone but. Reading a lot about our departed Sports Psychologist Steve Way Still flabbergasted why he was allowed/asked? to leave when Steve Walsh had gone. Both were clearly very supportive of the players. Possibly a Rudkin decision, who knows. One of Pearson team also at Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 7 February 2017 Share Posted 7 February 2017 2 minutes ago, yorkie1999 said: They asked him if he would stay as manager if we went down when he took the job. I know. That was last season. It doesn't mean he will stay this season if we go down. A lot has changed since when he was first appointed. We have spent a lot of money on transfers and wages and our expectations/goals after last season rightly changed. His job when first appointed was to try an avoid relegation. His job this season would have been to try and finish in the top 10. He is well short of that and will rightly be sacked if he fails to keep us up.

Obviously things could change and the owners might decide a change is needed but I don't believe this vote of confidence is 'dreaded' and means Claudio is a dead man walking. Its a positive thing for reassurance to Claudio and the players and reduce the media storm which may be unsettling everyone at the club. Different scenarios all together. We were second in the league and had won 4 on the bounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well all i know is that a club statement's been issued saying claudio's not getting sacked, the owners coming over for a chat about backing him and they all look as happy as larry on the training pitch, including shakey and ranieri seemingly having tactical discussions. Now whether or not that's just for the cameras is a different matter, but it looks to me like he's not getting sacked and we fans should back him and the team and not decide what his job or how it may end should be.

Totally agree. I think you're confused about my original post. He is staying now and it is good the owners have come out and said it. He and the players have 14 games to keep us in this league. If he fails to do that, then he should be sacked at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 7 February 2017 Share Posted 7 February 2017 notice the last word on the statement -ends- which means it probably will be ending soon! these are the exact statements clubs give out all the time and then all of a sudden BOOM.it says the club will remain united behind it's manager it didn't say for how long!

Neer, you just suffer the ensuing few years, and point them in the direction of an indoor job with no heavy lifting. I still think we should give Ranners until the end of the season. And the fact he tried earlier in the season to change the formation, but the players wouldn't let him, is also favourable to him. And how the team itself is funnelled through Morgan, notably protected by the super human N'golo last season, suggests there may be some internal team difficulty. But since we've spent loads of money on brilliant new players, like we've never seen (except for Walsh's finds), and are still struggling in mid-February makes me a little less patient.

Guest LCFC_World Posted 7 February 2017 Share Posted 7 February 2017 I feel if we lose on Sunday and get knocked out the cup the fans will turn against him, and it will be a very bitter atmosphere at the King Power. The owners would then probably be pressured to take action... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
